Is this the 4 player game plus the extension?

Yes.. The big box as seen in the picture is the 3-4 player game and can be played by itself. The expansion (included in this set and depicted as the smaller box) are addition pieces that when combined with the regular game make it playable for 5-6 players.

It is the 4 player base game, plus the expansion that lets you play up to 5-6 players.

No, unfortunately minimum is 3 players, and to be honest it's much more enjoyable with 6.

I've successfully played the original (without the expansion) with 5 and 6 players and it doesn't seem to make it easier or harder. Just deal 2 player cards to each, and play as you usually would.

You can play with 4, for sure. When I played with 3 people, each person threw down 2 response cards to keep it interesting and funny.

We bought the 5-6 player extension. It comes with many things: 11 terrain hexes (the parts that make up the bottom of the board, desert, forest, etc), 2 fram piees with harbors, 2 all-sea fram pieces, 2 extra harbor pieces, 2 sets of wooden playing pieces (10 settlements {5 of each of the 2 colors}, 8 cities { 4 of each of the 2 colors}, 30 roads {15 each of the 2 colors}), 25 resource cards, 9 development cards, 28 circular numbered tokens (chits). Hope this helps :)

I've played it as a 2, 3, and 4 player game. In my opinion, it works better with an even number of players. You have to modify the player's starting areas to accommodate multiple players, but other than that, it works well with 3-4 players. You will need more more of the ships than just the 3 that comes in the starter box set however.

You can play the game solo, so minimum player is one. The game itself comes with enough to play four maximum...but I know there is a promo out there that can add a fifth player.

I've played with 2, 3, 4 and 5. I think it's the most fun with 4. With four people trying to make their routes the board gets crowded and strategy comes into play.

More specifically.....It is couch co op, online multiplayer, and single player (or like were going to do 2 couch co op and 2 players on our online friends list)You can play 1-4 players in both couch co op and online (if you have 4 controllers that is haha)

I definitely played with one other person. However, I am not sure if you could play with up to 4 people offline. I am not sure how the game would handle 4 people playing in the same area going in 4 different directions.

Fiasco is designed for 3-5 players. More than five players and it doesn't work right, less than three and you have the same problem. I would not recommend playing with less than 3 players... 4 seems like the sweet spot to me.

Two people can play it. We've played with as many as seven, but four seems to be the ideal amount. Great game!

The game is playable with two people, but it is much more fun with four or more. I wouldn't get it if you would only be able to play with two people.

It is fine with 2, but better 3 or more. I've played it with my 27 yo brother-in-law and had fun. Of course the more the merrier, but it works as a two player and is still enjoyable.

Absolutely! The game (as you know since you play it) can be up to 5 people, if you typically have 3 and a 4th just so happens to be around, the more the merrier! And it creates new dynamics for the world that is being created that might not have been there before.

Can play with 4, more is better. 8 is about max. We have a lot of fun with this game.
